Colonel Robert Howard was a very distinguished member of the top-secret MACV-SOG units that fought during the Vietnam War in America's secret war in Laos and Cambodia. Comprised of only one to a few U.S. special force team members plus a cadre of native Vietnamese, Montagnard, Cambodian (Khmer Krom), and Nung fighters, these recon units operated deep behind enemy lines recovering downed pilots and attempting POW rescues, destroying enemy fuel dumps and caches, conducting wiretaps, gathering intelligence and spreading propaganda which forced Hanoi to divert 40,000 troops—about four divisions—to rear security missions along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Surrounded by heroes, Bob distinguished himself among his peers, becoming the most decorated Green Beret ever. His medal include the Medal of Honor–for sheer valor and heroism even as he suffered multiple wounds himself defending his men. Today's guest, historian Stephen L. Moore shares Bob Howard's story in his book “Beyond the Call of Duty: The Life of Colonel Robert Howard, the Most Decorated Green Beret.”Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.comNorth Idaho ExperienceIdaho life, real talk.

Subscribe through my link for 40% off unlimited access.In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with former Green Beret and military veteran Nick Freitas for a conversation on modern warfare, Iran, China, terrorism, the crisis of Western confidence, and the future of Christendom.Freitas explains the realities of asymmetric warfare, arguing that America's greatest enemies are often not stronger militarily, but better able to exploit the political, cultural, and psychological weaknesses of democratic societies. Using examples from Vietnam, Iraq, Gaza, Iran, and Ukraine, he explores why public opinion, media narratives, and civilian casualties have become central battlegrounds in modern conflict.We discuss the war with Iran, regime change, nation-building, the failures of Western interventionism, and why authoritarian regimes often possess strategic advantages that democracies struggle to counter. Freitas also examines the role of international institutions, the UN, NATO, and whether the West's commitment to liberal values has unintentionally created vulnerabilities that its adversaries now exploit.Finally, we explore faith, masculinity, family, and the collapse of the post-war consensus.WATCH THE EXTENDED CONVERSATION HERE: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/Chapters 00:00 Introduction 03:07 The Brutal Logic Of Asymmetric Warfare09:42 Has Trump Failed To Sell The Iran War?13:12 Could The Iranian Regime Ever Be Overthrown?18:38 Why The West Fights By Different Rules20:00 Hamas, Human Shields & The Laws Of War26:23 Why Terrorists Exploit Western Morality30:58 Just War Theory, Christianity & Warfare42:23 NATO, Europe & America's Growing Divide48:59 China, Taiwan & The Next Great Conflict1:00:40 China's Real Asymmetric Warfare Strategy1:07:42 Why Young Men Are Turning Back To Faith1:10:16 Final Thoughts

It's PID Radio's Throwback Thursday, our series pulled from archives going back to 2005. This week, we present a remarkable interview with Lt. Col. Dan Marvin, author of Expendable Elite, about the use of America's finest soldiers in politicians' secret war in Asia—and the plot to kill President John F. Kennedy. Originally released December 17, 2006 Our guest tonight is Lt. Col. “Dangerous Dan” Marvin (1933–2012), U.S. Army Special Forces (Ret.). He's the author of a remarkable book, Expendable Elite: One Soldier's Journey Into Covert Warfare, which documents his service as a Green Beret captain in Vietnam--and a whole lot more. In addition, Expendable Elite is about the good, bad and ugly of secret warfare, the first bombarding of enemy safe-havens inside Cambodia, major battles won by Hoa Hao Irregular Forces led by American and Vietnamese Green Berets, and the importance of civic action and psychological warfare. Col. Marvin also exposes the involvement of US Special Forces in the plots to assassinate Cambodia's Prince Sihanouk, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and US Navy LTCDR William B. Pitzer, perhaps the last victim of the John F. Kennedy cover-up. LTC Marvin documents retribution and revenge tactics employed by the CIA and the White House against its own, and the courage of Lieutenant General Quang Van Dang in his rescue of Marvin's A-Team, their counterparts and 400 Hoa Hao warriors from a 1,000 man South Vietnamese regiment sent by the CIA to destroy Marvin's Special Forces camp. “Dangerous Dan's” mission today: Forcing the U.S. government to recognize the way America's finest have been sacrificed for political objectives in the past and to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

Bryan Pickens is a former U.S. Army special operations soldier, security contractor, tactical advisor, and Ukraine war veteran. He has served in elite U.S. units, including as a Green Beret in U.S. Army Special Forces and as a Ranger with 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. He is currently associated with Valoryx Group LLC and is publicly described as a tactical advisor, drone-operations and training specialist, security consultant, and Russian-language proficient former special operator.After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Pickens fought alongside Ukrainian special operations forces and became one of the Western veterans arguing that Ukraine's battlefield experience has outpaced much of NATO's current understanding of modern war. In comments cited by Forbes, he said that even with “16 combat deployments,” he had to relearn how to fight in Ukraine, adding that Ukrainian counterparts were teaching him. His recent public commentary focuses heavily on drone warfare, counter-drone defence, electronic warfare, mid-range strike capability, and the urgent need for Western militaries to learn directly from Ukrainian operators. He has warned that cheap drone swarms cannot be sustainably countered with multi-million-dollar interceptors, and has argued that Ukraine can help professionalize Western warfighters in interception, surveillance, strike integration, and counter-electronic warfare. Pickens has also written and co-authored for The Cipher Brief, including on what Washington should learn from Ukraine's battlefield, and has appeared on veteran/security podcasts discussing his U.S. special operations background, Ukraine experience, and tactical lessons from the war.----------LINKS:https://www.thecipherbrief.com/experts/bryan-pickenshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/davidkirichenko/2026/05/15/the-pentagon-is-learning-drone-warfare-from-ukraine/https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidkirichenko/2026/05/03/japans-terra-drone-bets-on-ukraines-cheap-way-to-stop-shaheds/https://www.thecipherbrief.com/the-future-of-war-is-now-what-washington-needs-to-hear-from-the-battlefield----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Tu Lam, former Green Beret, CIA-trained operator, and CEO of Ronin Tactics, for a conversation about war, faith, and the long road to healing. A child refugee who escaped Vietnam and survived genocide before the age of seven, Tu Lam went on to serve 23 years in US Army Special Forces during the height of the global war on terrorism, becoming the inspiration behind a Call of Duty character and a recognised face in the tactical world. Behind the warrior image was a man living in silent suffering. In this deeply personal interview, Tu Lam opens up about the spiritual battle that woke him at three o'clock every morning, his journey through psychedelics and plant medicine to confront buried childhood trauma, and how surrendering to his faith in Jesus finally brought him peace. He shares the real meaning behind the Ronin name, the seven virtues of the Bushido code, hard lessons learned working alongside the British SAS and other elite units, and why he came to believe the enemy was never external. This is a story about awareness, forgiveness, and learning to be present. About carrying two swords, the physical and the spiritual, and finding the balance between them.

What does a dedicated meditation practice look like off the cushion and in the real world? On this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, hosts Jon Macaskill and Will Schneider sit down with Chris Lee... former Green Beret, 18 Delta medic, author of Beyond the Battlefield, and newly signed president of Machine Mentality alongside Nick Lavery. Chris came on to talk about why meditation is the quiet superpower that most men keep putting off, and what actually changed when he stopped treating it like a checkbox.Chris shares his walking meditation practice (72 steps per lap in his backyard, nearly killed the grass), the moment he realized he'd been matching his breath to his pace instead of his pace to his breath, and why flipping that became a metaphor for his whole life. He talks about the shift from knife-handing his daughters to being present during driving lessons, the self-talk change that cracked everything open, and a psychedelic-assisted therapy session where he heard: stop striving for peace, just be peace.Jon shares his own meditation gap... learning the practice in 2015, dropping off, and coming back in 2017 when his newborn daughter's nighttime feedings forced him to rediscover the tool. Will talks about teaching non-doing meditation to high performers in New York and why you'll never out-clever your own mind.The episode gets practical with the five-minute rule, the gym analogy for beginners (start with 45 seconds, not an hour), and two responses to common meditation pushback that are worth remembering: "I can't quiet my mind" is like saying "I'm too dirty to take a shower," and the deadlift analogy for people who think sitting still is a waste of time. Chris closes by guiding a liquid light body scan meditation.What you'll hear in this episode:Chris's walking meditation practice and matching pace to breath as a life metaphorThe self-talk shift: being gentle when your mind wandersHow meditation changed Chris's parenting with two daughtersJon's nighttime feeding story and rediscovering the toolThe five-minute rule and why 45 seconds is a great place to start"I can't quiet my mind" = "I'm too dirty to take a shower"The deadlift analogy for meditation skepticsNon-doing meditation and why fighting your mind gives it controlPeace as a reservoir, not a mountaintopSleep, alcohol, the Brick device, and variables that affect your practiceCommunity and accountability for sustaining a meditation habitGuided liquid light body scan meditationChris's book: Beyond the Battlefield (available now) Chris's upcoming book: Beyond the Serpent (early 2026) Chris on Instagram/TikTok: @coach_chris.lee Machine Mentality with Nick LaveryFull episode: https://pod.fo/e/34fabfText MTM to 33777 for updates on new episodes, the A2A course, and resources from Focus Now Training.Jon's book, DIAL in Your Leadership: 4 Non-negotiables for Leading with Clarity, Trust, and Purpose, is available now on Amazon. https://a.co/d/0hYwI2SzFollow Men Talking Mindfulness, Jon Macaskill, and Will Schneider for more.Hosted on Ausha.

Some people don't just pass through your life. They leave a mark that stays with you long after they're gone. Not because of what they did in a single moment, but because of how they lived every day, how they showed up for people, and how they made others feel.From the 2nd Annual Stars and Stripes Classic, Fran Racioppi sat down with Pam Patton and Tom Schneider to honor the life of Major Jeff Toczylowski, a Green Beret whose impact on the people around him is still felt nearly two decades later. A letter Jeff left to his family and friends in the event of his death defines the character of a Green Beret; a warrior and a man who cared more about others than himself. Jeff's last wish…take everyone to Vegas to celebrate his life.Today, his legacy lives on through the annual memorial golf outing in his honor, now approaching its 20th year. What started as a way to cope with loss has become something much bigger. A reunion. A celebration. A community built around a single person who continues to be the common thread connecting hundreds of people who gather not to mourn, but to celebrate a life well lived.Join the Green Beret Foundation and all of Toz's family and friends this August 1st, at the Five Ponds Golf Course in Warminster, PA to celebrate his service and support all Green Berets past, present and future.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 Introduction1:48 Welcome to the Stars & Stripes Classic2:27 Who was MAJ Jeff Toczylowski5:47 The 20th Annual Memorial Golf Tournament8:51 Vegas Time13:19 Honoring Toz's LegacyQUOTES“He literally lived every day like it was his last…to the fullest.”“He impacted a lot of people.”“It really is like a reunion.”“The celebration of life is really why everybody comes back.”“It changed him forever.”“No matter what's going on in life, be good to the people around you and live each day to the fullest because today could be it.”The Jedburgh Podcast is brought to you by OneBrief; enabling military leaders to make innovative, informed and deliberate decisions faster than ever before.

Herb Thompson had already made it. He was Drill Sergeant of the Year, on a clear path to a top enlisted career, and could have stayed where it was safe. He didn't. In this conversation with Joe De Sena, Special Forces veteran Herb Thompson explains why he walked away from the secure path to chase the dream he had since childhood: becoming a Green Beret.   Herb breaks down fear of failure, why most people talk instead of act, how he survived Special Forces selection without feedback, and what it took to rebuild purpose after retirement. This episode is about ownership, sacrifice, and performance under uncertainty. You will leave with practical rules for taking action, handling discomfort, and building a life around what you are willing to earn.   Things You Will Learn: Why ownership matters more than motivation when the goal gets hard. How to break overwhelming pressure into small, winnable steps. Why sacrifice, not talk, is what turns a dream into a result.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Own Your Journey Rule: puts responsibility for progress back on you. Small Chunk Execution: breaks hard goals into immediate next steps under pressure. Sacrifice Filter: clarifies what you are willing to give up to earn what you want.   If this episode moved you, don't just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   Herb Thompson is the only person in Army history to earn both Drill Sergeant of the Year and the Green Beret, a path built on hardship, childhood trauma, and a refusal to quit under extreme pressure. His journey spans combat missions, brutal selection courses, and a post-military identity rebuild that demanded a new kind of discipline. Herb now helps high performers redefine purpose beyond titles through writing, speaking, and leadership development.    Connect to Herb: Website: https://libertyspeaks.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/herb-thompson-libertyspeaks/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_ownyourjourney_ The Transition Mission Book: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B082RL1SJ2   We gave you the tools, now use them during your next SPARTAN RACE!

Send us Fan MailDr. Tommy Shavers, founder of NESTRE Health & Performance, and Carlos Perez, a retired Special Forces officer, join Joe to explore a powerful idea: the brain is not fixed. It can be measured, trained, strengthened, and improved.This episode was recorded after Joe visited NESTRE's performance center in Lake Nona, Florida, where he went through their cognitive assessment and brain training process firsthand. What followed was a conversation about performance, recovery, military transition, stress, and what happens when high performers spend years operating in survival mode and then struggle to turn their minds off.Tommy shares the story of how multiple concussions ended his college football career and nearly changed the course of his life. After being told his brain would only continue to decline, he began searching for a different answer—one that eventually led him to develop a model for cognitive recovery and performance training. Carlos explains why, as a retired Green Beret, he immediately saw the potential for this work inside the military and veteran communities.Joe, Tommy, and Carlos also discuss: Why the brain should be trained like the body  What Joe learned from having his own brain “mapped”  How high performers can operate well under pressure but pay a hidden cost over time  Why veterans often struggle to shut their brains off after leaving the military  The difference between treating the brain as broken and training it for performance  How cognitive assessments could help military units better understand, train, and build teams  Why stress, sleep, focus, and emotional regulation are performance issues—not just personal struggles This episode is for anyone who has spent years pushing hard, performing under pressure, and wondering why slowing down feels so difficult. It's also for leaders, veterans, athletes, and high performers who want to better understand how their brain works—and how they can train it to support the next chapter of their life.

John walks through what it actually takes to become a Green Beret, the brutal pipeline from selection through Robin Sage, and how the COVID vaccine mandate ended a career he'd spent over a decade building.Hans and John dig into the moral, religious, and legal grounds for refusing the shot, the bureaucratic punishment that followed, and why John believes the COVID accountability fight is the linchpin for cleaning up the rest of the rot in the Pentagon. They close on his congressional run, the establishment machine he's up against, and why most veterans in the most veteran-dense district in America don't have a veteran representing them.Chapters: 00:00 – Opening segment 01:30 – From LA to ROTC to the seminary 03:50 – The Green Beret pipeline: enlisted vs. officer routes 05:30 – Selection: 34% attrition, four MREs a day, and 20 lbs lost 09:50 – Special Forces vs. SEALs vs. Rangers 13:40 – Working by, with, and through partner forces 15:10 – The Q Course, SERE, and language training 16:30 – Inside Robin Sage: the unconventional warfare exercise 20:45 – Military Free Fall and getting to 7th Group 23:15 – The transgender major and the first test of conviction 25:50 – The shot mandate hits the team room 27:15 – Vaccination rate as a metric for good leadership 30:45 – Aborted fetal cells and the Catholic moral case 33:00 – Counseling the command back36:25 – A year of being un-deployable, un-PCS-able, useless 37:40 – The two-star & the town hall39:20 – Why the reinstatement process is a joke 41:00 – Why COVID accountability is the linchpin 42:45 – From silent retreat to running for Congress 44:00 – Matt Gaetz, the State of the Union, and stepping aside for Trump's pick 47:10 – Why Patronis isn't fighting for the district 50:30 – The most veteran-dense district in America has no veteran on staff 54:00 – Thomas Massie, special interest money, and the uphill fight 57:10 – Where to find John and how to support the campaignKey Takeaways:The Green Beret pipeline is brutal and specific. Selection alone has an enormous attrition rate before the year-plus Q Course even begins. Special Forces work by, with, and through partner forces, which is what distinguishes Green Berets from other Special Operations Forces.The COVID mandate metric was a disqualifier for leadership. The percentage of your team that took the shot became the measure of a good leader. That single inversion of values exposed which commanders had spines and which didn't.The shot was never FDA approved when the mandate was issued. Comirnaty was the approved label, but it was never available. Pfizer EUA was what was actually in the vials, which made the order unlawful on its face.Insubordination, done right, is documented. John responded to his counseling statement by numbering each paragraph and refuting it on the record. His whole team followed suit. Most commanders had no answer because there were no legally defensible responses.The reinstatement process is theater. The administration wants a headline, not accountability. The biggest COVID tyrants are still in the Pentagon and still the loudest cheerleaders for every other ideological capture.

In 1968, in the dense jungles of Vietnam, a team of Green Berets was pinned down by an overwhelming North Vietnamese Army force. Their last hope was a young Air Force pilot named James Fleming. Despite being low on fuel and facing a wall of enemy fire, Fleming refused to turn back. The rescue mission seemed destined to fail, but a split-second decision would earn Fleming the nation’s highest military honor.

Green Berets are built over time. Special Operations Truth #3: SOF cannot be mass produced. America's most elite warriors are developed through experience, through leadership, and through the responsibility of developing others. This is the job of the Special Forces Noncommissioned Officer.In this episode, Fran Racioppi sat down with retired Command Sergeant Major Rob Abernethy to dissect the evolution of the Green Beret NCO, and their officer counterparts, to show how that development shapes the effectiveness of Army Special Operations and national strategy.CSM Abernethy served nearly four decades in the Army and across special operations from a junior 18E communications sergeant, to the Command Sergeant Major of US Army Special Operations Command and United States European Command. Rob breaks down the role of the NCO as the backbone of the Regiment, the importance of regional alignment in building partner forces, and where Special Forces fits into military strategy from the pre-9/11 period, through the Global War on Terror and into today's Large Scale Combat Operations.We also explore the rapid evolution of technology and the challenge of integrating new tools without losing the fundamentals of leadership and warfighting. From artificial intelligence to modern battlefield systems, Rob emphasizes that technology must support the force, not replace the mindset that defines it.Finally, after retiring as one of the longest serving Green Berets in the Army, CSM Abernethy shares his perspective on transition after service and his current role continuing to develop soldiers through his work at AUSA.This is a conversation about leadership, evolution, and the responsibility to prepare the next generation of Green Berets for the fight ahead.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 Introduction2:00 Welcome to the Jedburgh Podcast5:20 From junior to senior NCO on an ODA15:31 Role of the Team Sergeant18:52 The culture of a Special Forces team25:02 Importance of Regional Alignment32:08 Bridging the generation gap43:14 American Military Technological Advantage49:00 Biggest Threat to America52:18 Remembering ServiceQUOTES“The average age on the teams was much older.”“Nobody says, ‘Hey, I'm going to join the Army and my goal is to be a sucky soldier.'”“The Team Sergeant is one of the most critical parts of the team.”“Over time, what you do is build confidence with the team.”“The Officer's success is really the Team's success and the Team's success is based on the Officer.”“Our confidence as a Team Sergeant needs to be projected through the team leader.”“You have to have a lot of confidence in the team you're selecting.”“The administrative stuff makes a difference.”“The little things absolutely matter.”“The more astute you are to the environment in which you're going to operate, the better you're going to be.”“In the next 10 years, it's going to be phenomenal what we actually bring to the battlefield because AI is going to make us that much better.”“The Department of War is crushing the acquisition process now.”“Our relationship with our NATO allies has been strong and needed, and still will be needed.”“One thing that stayed consistent was my desire to be good, to be an expert, and lead by example.”The Jedburgh Podcast is brought to you by OneBrief; enabling military leaders to make innovative, informed and deliberate decisions faster than ever before.

The second half of this two-part interview from 2023 with one of our favorite Americans, in celebration of Memorial Day:A living legend of MACV-SOG and the Green Berets, John "Tilt" Stryker Meyer shares some of the most daring first-person stories of combat ever told! Inserted by Kingbee helicopter into the dense jungle along the Ho Chi Minh trail in  Laos and Cambodia during the height of the Vietnam War, Tilt and the US and indigenous members of Strike Force Idaho  deployed on  one impossible  top-secret  mission after another, spying on, harassing  and taking it to the North Vietnamese and Vietcong despite a  casualty rate of over 100%.Top-secret, all-volunteer SOG teams soon became the bane of the NVA's and Vietcong's existence, and despite overwhelming odds and  sometimes  having to face battalion-size enemy detachments, Tilt describes how these small US-indigenous units bravely soldiered on achieving a combined kill ratio of 158 to 1 – the highest in US military history.Bravery like that described by Tilt is not only inspiring, it changes the way we perceive the Vietnam War.  

Long before modern Tier 1 units existed, a shadow command of Green Berets, Navy SEALs, and CIA operatives rewrote the playbook for clandestine warfare under the cover of the Vietnam War. We delve into the complex organizational structure and psychological operations of MACV-SOG, exploring how their highly classified intelligence gathering shaped the future of modern American special operations. Discover the staggering cost of these invisible campaigns, the long battle for declassification, and why their tactical doctrines are still studied in deep-cover defense circles today.

What does it look like to follow God… when everything in your life is falling apart? In this powerful Memorial Day episode and tribute, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down backstage at the most recent Ignite Men’s Impact Weekend with Green Beret veteran, Purple Heart recipient, Silver & Bronze Star Medalist, and warrior, John Wayne Walding, a man whose life is a living testimony of faith, courage, and resilience under fire. John Wayne served 12 years in the U.S. Army, including 7 years in the elite 3rd Special Forces Group. During the Battle of Shok Valley on April 6, 2008, he was struck by sniper fire that nearly severed his leg. In a moment that defines both grit and resolve, he applied a tourniquet and kept fighting alongside his team for hours. But this story isn’t just about what happened on the battlefield. It’s about what happened after. John Wayne opens up about the long road of recovery, becoming a below-the-knee amputee, and the internal battles many don’t see: mental health struggles, challenges in marriage, and the quiet weight that so many men carry but rarely talk about. Throughout it all, one truth stands out: faith is not tested in comfort; it’s revealed in the fire. We talk about what it means to trust God in suffering, to ask for strength instead of an easier life, and how pain, when surrendered, can become a tool for growth rather than an excuse for passivity. This conversation is also a direct challenge to men: to reject passivity, to embrace responsibility, to live with courage, humility, and intentionality, and to understand that real strength includes the willingness to be vulnerable and ask for help. John Wayne’s life reminds us that being a godly man isn’t about perfection…it’s about perseverance, surrender, and service. If you’re walking through pain, feeling stuck, or tempted to check out, this episode will meet you there… and call you forward.Links: Visit John Wayne’s Website: https://www.johnwaynewalding.com/ Watch John Wayne on The Resilient Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbnSPU-NVTg Book John Wayne to Speak: https://www.gdaspeakers.com/speaker/john-wayne-walding/ Struggling with your Suffering?

In episode 249 of the Transition Drill Podcast, explore military transition, long-term service, and purpose after retirement for veterans and first responders navigating life beyond the uniform. You'll hear retired Army Colonel Michael “Sully” Sullivan on leadership, identity, Special Forces service, and what it takes to build a meaningful second mission after a 30-year military career.Michael “Sully” Sullivan grew up in Yakima, Washington, surrounded by a family legacy of military service that stretched from World War I through Vietnam. His father served as an infantry officer in Vietnam before becoming a longtime prosecuting attorney, and those experiences quietly shaped Sully's view of service long before he ever put on a uniform himself. Originally headed toward law school, Sully attended Claremont McKenna College to play football and pursue a more traditional civilian path. But an unexpected ROTC opportunity changed everything and sent him into the Army with what he thought would only be a four-year commitment.Instead, Sully found purpose in leadership, team culture, and the challenge of military life. He shares stories from his early years as a field artillery officer, meeting his wife just weeks after they were introduced, building a family while serving overseas, and eventually taking the difficult leap into the Special Forces community. The episode walks through his path to becoming a Green Beret, the pressure and uncertainty of Special Forces selection, and what it was like entering that world just as 9/11 changed the trajectory of the military forever.But this conversation isn't only about military service. Sully speaks candidly about marriage during a 30-year Army career, raising children while constantly moving, financial mistakes, mentorship, and the reality that senior leaders often transition feeling isolated despite decades of experience. He also talks openly about chasing promotion to general officer, accepting when that path didn't happen, and learning how to move forward without bitterness or regret.Today, Sully serves as the Executive Director of Team Red, White & Blue, helping veterans reconnect to purpose, health, and community after service. His transition story is rooted in preparation, relationships, humility, and trusting the people who truly know you. This episode is a deep conversation about identity, leadership, family, service, and finding a new mission after the military.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with John Wayne Walding—Green Beret, Purple Heart recipient, and speaker—for an extraordinary conversation about resilience, purpose, and faith in the aftermath of unimaginable adversity. John shares the unforgettable story of April 6th, 2008: a harrowing firefight in Afghanistan that left him a below-knee amputee, fighting to survive while carrying his own leg down a mountain. With honesty and humility, John recounts not only the intense physical and mental battle in the aftermath, but also the spiritual turning points that transformed his pain into gratitude and a new sense of mission. From turbulent early years and military brotherhood to becoming the first amputee to graduate Green Beret sniper school, John's journey is a testament to what it means to move forward when life changes in a moment. Throughout our conversation, John opens up about the process of wrestling with anger, rebuilding his life, and ultimately finding strength through service and faith. We explore themes of identity, finding meaning in suffering, the power of teamwork, and the difference between "believing in God" and truly depending on Him. John also speaks candidly about honoring the sacrifices of friends, overcoming addiction, and the importance of using one's story to inspire and serve others across the country. John Wayne Walding SFC (R) John Wayne Walding, born on the 4th of July, was raised in Groesbeck, Texas. He spent nearly 12 years in the United States Army, including seven years in the prestigious 3rd Special Forces Group at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. On April 6, 2008, John lost his right leg to sniper fire during the battle of Shok Valley. He continued to fight alongside his brothers for four more hours earning him the Sliver Star and Purple heart. Post-injury John attended Special Forces Sniper School. Upon graduation he became the first amputee to become a Green Beret Sniper. Additionally, he has run marathons, completed death marches, and climbed mountains. In 2017 John founded Gallantry Global Logistics, a service-disabled veteran/minority owned logistics company that specializes in shipments of consequence and whose purpose is to provide the next mission to Veterans after their service to this Nation. John travels the country speaking to veterans' organizations, corporations and the public about leadership, excellence, overcoming adversity using his motto "Lean Forward, Fight Hard". John strongly believes his biggest accomplishment is marrying his beautiful wife, Amy and having their four wonderful children: Emma 21, Sam 20, Andie 15, and Hannah 12. They reside in Gunter Texas.

In an era defined by political compromise and institutional overreach, Joe delivers an uncompromising, hard-hitting analysis of the forces actively working to dismantle American sovereignty. This episode pulls no punches, tackling the coordinated gaslighting from mainstream media figures and detailing the ongoing internal friction fracturing the Colorado GOP. From the weaponization of the judicial system against election integrity advocates to the calculated silence of leadership, Oltmann exposes the multi-front assault on truth, demanding to know what legacy patriots will choose to leave behind.The battle lines sharpen as constitutional lawyer, former U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, and Green Beret commander Ivan Raiklin joins the show. Fresh off the campaign trail for Representative Thomas Massie, Raiklin breaks down the high-stakes fight for an authentic "America First" foreign and domestic policy. Together, Oltmann and Raiklin dissect the controversial executive maneuvers surrounding Tina Peters, the insidious grip of foreign lobbying in Washington, and the urgent necessity for a non-interventionist Congress to dismantle deep-state surveillance apparatuses like FISA before domestic dissent is completely criminalized.Rounding out the broadcast, the show pivots to the cultural battlefield, mapping out the architecture of fifth-generational warfare being waged against American values. Through a series of staggering clips—ranging from leftist academics plotting the destruction of traditional gender roles to radical candidates running on anti-ICE agendas—Joe illustrates a systemic plot to replace liberty with state allegiance. Featuring powerful, firsthand warnings from survivors of Cuban socialism and an exposure of the ongoing denigration of American heritage, this episode serves as an essential wake-up call for anyone ready to stand against the controlled demolition of the republic.

In 1968, in the dense jungles of Vietnam, a team of Green Berets was pinned down by an overwhelming North Vietnamese Army force. Their last hope was a young Air Force pilot named James Fleming. Despite being low on fuel and facing a wall of enemy fire, Fleming refused to turn back. The rescue mission seemed destined to fail, but a split-second decision would earn Fleming the nation’s highest military honor.

The Governor says you can keep your AR-15. She also says you can't carry it, transfer it, or, in some readings, even transport it. Grandfathering isn't freedom if the firearm becomes a museum piece in your own safe. Let's walk through and clarify what this law actually says, because the text and the press conference are two very different things.SPONSOR: American FinancingSummer expenses like vacations, gas, tuition, and camps are pushing families further into high-interest credit card debt.

In episode 359 of The Real Jason Duncan Podcast, most entrepreneurs think they're fighting the right battle — pointing at the cartels, the traffickers, the monsters on the news — and telling themselves that if good people fight hard enough, evil stays over there. Paul Hutchinson walked into over 70 undercover rescue missions across 15 countries, sat across from traffickers in the darkest rooms on earth, held the hands of terrified children who had no idea he was there to save them, and came out the other side with a truth nobody wanted to hear. The evil isn't out there. It starts in here. And until we deal with that, we keep losing. Paul Hutchinson — co-founder of Bridge Investment Group, primary investor and executive producer of Sound of Freedom, and the real-life inspiration behind the character Pablo — returns for his second appearance on the show (originally Episode 183). Paul personally participated in more than 70 undercover child rescue operations across 15 countries, resulting in the liberation of over 7,000 children from sex trafficking. Through the Child Liberation Foundation and Liberating Humanity, his prevention programs now protect more than 10,000 children every single month. Today, we're not covering the missions — we're going deep on the lie he believed, the vow he made to a terrified little girl, the ego-breaking moment his own operators held up a mirror, and why he now believes healing humanity is the only real solution to child trafficking. This episode dives into: 1. Why the first trafficker Paul ever met was clean-cut, well-spoken, and looked just like him — and what that forced him to confront 2. The common thread he found across every perpetrator after 10 years of undercover missions: arrogance, greed, lust, and unhealed trauma 3. The ripple effect of unhealed leadership — how one bad day in the boardroom can reach a child you will never meet 4. The specific undercover mission in Haiti at 2 a.m. that broke him open and forged a life vow he's still keeping 5. What Sound of Freedom got right, what it left out, and why the book goes deeper than the film ever could 6. Why the most dangerous threat to your child isn't a stranger — it's the device in their back pocket 7. Why over 90% of child sexual abuse is familial — and why open relationships with your kids are the real prevention strategy 8. The lie about transactional love Paul carried for decades, and how guilt, shame, and self-loathing fed the very addictions he was fighting against in others 9. What his own operators said that finally cracked his ego: "You're on your second marriage, headed for divorce, and your kids don't talk to you." 10. Why psilocybin is now being fast-tracked by the FDA — and what it did for Green Berets with 300 combat missions who couldn't survive one undercover rescue 11. How 850 self-proclaimed atheists went through one single facilitated experience — and two-thirds walked out saying "I am no longer an atheist." 12. Why throwing bad guys in jail will never fix trafficking — and what actually addresses the demand If you've ever told yourself evil is someone else's problem, this is the episode that finally calls that what it is.

Retired Green Beret Matt Murphy explores how Charlie Kirk's rejection of Zionism, the Israel-Iran war, and rising religious tensions may be accelerating the push toward Greater Israel and a New World Order in episode 246 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Matt Murphy is a former Green Beret and special operations veteran, Christian anti-trafficking advocate, and former CIA detailee who spent nearly two decades operating across the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. After his sister was trafficked in 2019, Murphy helped build anti-trafficking operations through organizations like Operation Light Shine, which partnered with the Tim Tebow Foundation. He later began speaking publicly about propaganda, censorship, and the global power structures he believes are driving modern conflict.In this conversation, Faust and Murphy explore how the Israel-Iran war, biblical prophecy, and rising tensions between Christianity and Zionism may be converging into a much larger spiritual and geopolitical conflict. As the discussion moves through Charlie Kirk's ideological shift, deep state influence, censorship, and modern psychological operations, Murphy questions whether mainstream media narratives and political movements are steering the public toward an engineered End Times scenario tied to Greater Israel and the New World Order. The conversation also explores the Talmud, spiritual warfare, angels and demons, the Federal Reserve, the petrodollar, and the idea that modern society may be operating inside a carefully constructed system designed to shape how people interpret history, religion, and reality itself.In this episode:• Charlie Kirk & Zionism: What changed after one of conservatism's biggest voices began publicly questioning Israel and its influence?• Greater Israel & The End Times: Why do some people believe today's Middle East conflicts are tied to biblical prophecy?• Christianity vs. Zionism: Are modern Christians being pulled toward a belief system they do not fully understand?• The Talmud: The controversial religious text Murphy says most people are discouraged from examining for themselves• Angels, Demons & Spiritual Warfare: What if the forces shaping human history are not entirely human?• Psychological Operations: How modern propaganda blurs the line between independent thought and engineered perception• The Federal Reserve & Petrodollar: How did endless war, inflation, and debt become normalized in modern society?• Deep State & Algorithmic Suppression: Are online narratives being shaped more aggressively than most people realize?• Robert Maxwell & Media Power: The deeper connections between intelligence networks, propaganda, and the version of history most people grow up believing• Anti-Trafficking & Awakening: How a personal tragedy pushed Murphy into a completely different understanding of the worldThe deeper the conversation goes, the harder it becomes to tell where geopolitics ends and spiritual warfare begins.Connect with Matt Murphyhttps://www.instagram.com/matt_murphy_official/https://x.com/matt_murphy_23Join us on PatreonFor uncensored episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive community access:https://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustListen on Spotify + Apple PodcastsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6StPwgq2di3f8uxnc6SmIfApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/far-out-with-faust-fowf/id1533017218FOWF & Faust Checho on socialhttps://www.instagram.com/faroutwithfaust/https://www.instagram.com/theonefaustchecho/https://www.facebook.com/Faroutwithfausthttps://x.com/faustchechohttps://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustQUESTION THE ANSWERS™we'd love to hear from you

Or the very good bet, depending on how you think about it. In this episode, we start by discussing the strange, fast-moving world of prediction markets — platforms where you can bet real money on whether a head of state gets removed from power, whether a country gets invaded, whether the Fed raises rates — and where the prices themselves are supposed to be the point, a real-time probability signal generated by the crowd. Then we get to the case that just blew a very large hole in that theory: a Polymarket account called "Burdensome-Mix" that turned $33,000 into $409,881 in about a week, betting on the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro — and the active-duty Green Beret who allegedly made those trades while participating in the raid that made them pay out.

A stiff knee looked like a minor problem. Two days later, it was swelling toward the size of a basketball.   Then doctors opened it and found an infection eating him from the inside out. Zachary Garner is a Green Beret, firefighter, and ultra-endurance athlete, and this episode is built around visible stakes: brutal deployments, a catastrophic Ironman crash, traumatic brain injury, seizures, and a fight with flesh-eating bacteria that spread from hip to ankle, into his bloodstream, bones, pelvis, and heart.   He was told it could end fast. He was moved to Mass General, spent time in the ICU, had two strokes, and coded twice. Zachary breaks down what kept him moving forward: discomfort as training, purpose as a stabilizer, loyalty as a standard, and service as the operating system. You'll leave with disciplined rules you can apply when you're stuck, overwhelmed, or looking for excuses.   Things You Will Learn: How to use purpose as a coping mechanism when quitting starts to feel logical. How to normalize discomfort so you don't fold under pressure. How loyalty and service create structure when civilian life feels flat after high-intensity environments.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Do-It-For-Them Anchor: keeps endurance and resilience steady when motivation drops. Discomfort Reps: builds mental toughness through repeated, controlled exposure to discomfort. Service-First Operating System: aligns discipline, responsibility, and daily actions to a clear purpose.   Let's make it something similar to this: If this episode moved you, don't just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   Zachary Garner is a retired U.S. Army Green Beret who's survived traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, a near-fatal car accident, and necrotizing fasciitis that nearly took his life.

My guest today is a man who existed in the shadows of one of the most classified units in American military history — a Vietnam-era Green Beret named Travis Mills who helped build the legendary MACV-SOG one-zero school, ran recon deep into Laos when we "weren't there," got shot multiple times during one of the deadliest single-night attacks ever to hit Army Special Forces, and lived to sit across from me and tell the whole story. This is the kind of conversation that reminds you what the word "operator" actually means before it became a hashtag. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
